Human Sperm Chromatin Undergoes Physiological Remodeling During In Vitro Capacitation and Acrosome Reaction
10 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Capacitation (CAP) and acrosome reaction (AR) are sequential processes of sperm activation. Beside the known ionic, membrane, and transduction events and final release of proteolytic enzymes that help sperm movement toward the egg, chromatin changes, such as a physiological remodeling, are also possible. Our aims were to ascertain that CAP and AR do not induce DNA damage and to evaluate changes occurring in the...
